First day

In class today we watched a movie called Guns Germs and Steel. It was based on a book by Jared Diamond. It shows the reason why europe has advanced so quickly and other areas hadn't. The movie talked about have vs have not. The movie describes people who haves  peole who have ample things and more than just having basic needs fufiled. People who have not do not have what they need or barely what they need to live. Jared visited Papua New Guinea. Race does not decide how superior someone is to another person. New Guinea people are intellegent and are not living different than they did centuries ago.
The question then came up as to why then so different? Jared Diamond watches birds as a hobby.
The movie takes places in  Papua New Guinea
